against Romania

The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 5 December 2024 as a Committee composed of:

 Anne Louise Bormann, President,
 Sebastian Răduleţu,
 András Jakab, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 27 August 2020,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Dan Loghin, was born in 1965.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention were communicated to the Romanian Government (“the Government”).

On 27 March 2024 Ms Andreea Loghin, claiming to be the applicant’s daughter, informed the Registry that the applicant had died and that she intends to pursue the application before the Court in his stead.

On 28 May 2024 the Registry sent a letter, by registered post, to the attention of Ms A. Loghin, asking for a copy of an authentic document issued by the domestic authorities certifying that the person wishing to pursue the application is the applicant’s legal heir (certificat de moștenitor). The letter was received on 7 June 2024. No response followed.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant’s heirs do not wish to pursue the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 16 January 2025.
